Sláinte! A Peek at St. Paddy’s Day Across the Globe

St. Paddy’s Day is one of the most popular annual festivals in the world, in countries with and without significant Irish populations. And why not? From emerald isles to pints of Guinness, Irish culture is worthy of celebration.

Munich. The only German city to host one, Munich’s St. Paddy’s parade has evolved into continental Europe’s largest. An open-air party with live music and dancing (and plenty of Guinness) always follows.

Argentina. Thanks to the comfortably warm weather, Argentinians – particularly those living in Buenos Aires – celebrate Saint Patrick with all-night parties, often drinking and dancing until 8AM.

With other popular St. Paddy’s Day celebrations in South Korea, Montserrat, Dubai, Australia, and many other nations, it’s safe to say that partying in green is a worldwide phenomenon. So, all together now: Erin go bragh!
